In the fifth episode of the 2023 Ducati World Premiere web series, Ducati presented the 2023 Streetfighter V4 family. The Italians have applied the developments of the 2023 Panigale V4 family to the “Fight Formula”, while the Streetfighter V4 SP2 with 220 hp has raised the bar a little higher.
Ducati themselves say that the Streetfighter V4 is closely related to the Panigale V4 – stripped of its fairing and fitted with wide handlebars – so it’s no surprise that two years after its launch, Ducati’s 2023 Streetfighter family has had a lot of updates. data announced recently for the Panigale.

On the electronics front, Ducati has adopted refinements from the Panigale, such as the refined quickshifter that should have made clutchless shifting even smoother. In addition, the Engine Brake Control has been improved and the TFT display has the same new circuit-oriented layout as the Panigale.
Following on from the Panigale, Ducati has raised the swingarm pivot point on the Streetfighter to improve stability, and refined the Öhlins NIX30 upside down fork and TTX36 rear shock, as well as semi-active management settings.
As in the Panigale family, the Streetfighter family features an SP2 version, specifically intended for fun on the track. To save weight, a lot of carbon parts have been used, including the same wheels as the superbike) and you get Brembo Stylema brake pads. And a STM_EVO SBK dry clutch.
